Swedish Meatballs

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb. ground pork
• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 4 Tbsp. minced onion
• 3 Tbsp. margarine
• 1 1/2 tsp. salt
• dash of pepper
• 1 tsp. mace
• 2 Tbsp. flour
• 1 cup hot water
• 3/4 cup light cream

Directions:

Combine egg, milk, and bread crumbs in a bowl and let stand a few minutes.

Brown onion in 1 Tbsp. butter. Combine well with the crumb mixture, meats, and the seasonings. Shape into 3 dozen small meatballs about 1 inch in diameter.

Brown the meatballs in the remaining butter. When nicely browned, pour off all but 1 Tbsp. of the fat. Sprinkle the flour over the remaining fat and stir it over low heat for a couple of minutes. Add the hot water, stirring to get all the flour incorporated. Cover the pan, and simmer the meatballs on medium low for 35 - 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. At the last, add the cream and a small sprinkling of mace, and heat through.

Serve with your favorite kind of noodles and a nice salad.
